I'm looking for a pair of winter boots that I can wear around campus through some light rain and snow. I've been browsing SF and have been falling in love with wingtip boots, especially the AE Daltons. I don't have $300+ to drop on a pair of boots right now, though. What are some alternative choices for wingtip boots that I can wear in mild winter weather around campus that wont run me past $200?

I'll edit this post with a picture when I get back. By sway I mean when I take a step the front of pant will go forward and sort of come back and hit my ankle when I retract my step I've been thinking about getting it tapered but thought a hem might do a better job of preventing that.

Tapering and shortening are two very different thing. If the trousers are too long, have them shortened. If you want them trimmer, have them tapered.

Thank you, the length is fine, just seems that the leg opening is too much, I measured them before and they are an 8", most of my trousers are "7.5, so I'll definitely have them tapered over the weekend.

So there are some great deals to be had out there on SCs and Suits, however my question is, I am right at a 38R. If I buy a 40R jacket (implying a good tailor) can it be tailored sufficiently to fit me well?

Given sufficient money and sufficient tailoring skill, almost any downsize alteration is possible. But as a practical matter, it is almost always far wiser to buy the right size, than to buy the wrong size in the expectation that it can be altered to fit.

Yes, even when the right size is more difficult to find than is the wrong size.
